Note #6—The proposed 2020 O&M rates for the San Carlos Irrigation Project—Indian Works has three components. The first component is
the O&M rate established by the San Carlos Irrigation Project—Indian Works, the owner and operator of the Project; this rate is proposed to be
50.00 per acre. The second component is for the O&M rate established by the San Carlos Irrigation Project—Joint Works and is determined to
be 20.00 per acre for 2020. The third component is the O&M rate established by the San Carlos Irrigation Project Joint Control Board and is proposed to be 16.00 per acre for 2020.
Consultation and Coordination With
Tribal Governments (Executive Order
13175)
The Department of the Interior strives
to strengthen its government-togovernment relationship with Indian
Tribes through a commitment to
consultation with Indian Tribes and
recognition of their right to selfgovernance and Tribal sovereignty. We
have evaluated this notice under the
Department’s consultation policy and
under the criteria of Executive Order
13175 and have determined there to be
substantial direct effects on federally
recognized Tribes because the irrigation
projects are located on or associated
with Indian reservations. To fulfill its
consultation responsibility to Tribes and
Tribal organizations, BIA
communicates, coordinates, and
consults on a continuing basis with
these entities on issues of water
delivery, water availability, and costs of
administration, operation, maintenance,
and rehabilitation of projects that
concern them. This is accomplished at
the individual irrigation project by
project, agency, and regional
representatives, as appropriate, in
accordance with local protocol and
procedures. This notice is one
component of our overall coordination
and consultation process to provide
notice to, and request comments from,
these entities when we adjust irrigation
assessment rates.
Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (Executive Order
13211)
The proposed rate adjustments are not
a significant energy action under the
definition in Executive Order 13211. A
Statement of Energy Effects is not
required.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995
These proposed rate adjustments do
not impose an unfunded mandate on
state, local, or Tribal governments in the
aggregate, or on the private sector, of
more than $130 million per year. They
do not have a significant or unique
effect on State, local, or Tribal
governments or the private sector.

deprive the public, State, or local
governments of rights or property.
Federalism (Executive Order 13132)
Under the criteria in section 1 of
Executive Order 13132, these proposed
rate adjustments do not have sufficient
federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a federalism summary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Airport Sponsor has requested the
conveyance for a runway improvement
project at the Grand Junction Regional
Airport (Airport). The subject lands are
adjacent to the northern boundary of the
Airport. The proposal aligns with the
Administration’s priority to restore trust
and be a good neighbor by engaging
with the Airport Sponsor to provide
ongoing, safe operations at the Airport
that helps to modernize America’s
infrastructure. The proposal also aligns
with the Administration’s priority to
increase revenues to support the
Department and national interests
through creating over 1,700 jobs for the
local community over seven to ten
years.
The BLM proposes to convey the
following described lands:
Parcel A
Ute Principal Meridian
T. 1 N, R. 1 W,
Sec. 23, S1⁄2NE1⁄4.
Parcel B
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1

Sec. 19, lot 6;
Sec. 30, lots 6, 8, 9, and 11.
T. 1 N, R. 1 W,
Sec. 24, lots 2 and 3.
The area aggregates 188.04 acres.
The proposed conveyance conforms
to the BLM Grand Junction Resource
Management Plan (RMP), approved
August 2015. The parcels are identified
as appropriate for land tenure for airport
purposes in the RMP Record of Decision
(L&R–AU–07). The BLM used the land
tenure criteria found in Sec. 203(a)(3) of
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act (FLPMA), which states
‘‘disposal of such tract will serve
important public objectives, including
but not limited to, expansion of
communities and economic
development, which cannot be achieved
prudently or feasibly on land other than
public land and which outweigh other
public objectives and values, including,
but not limited to, recreation and scenic
values, which would be served by
maintaining such tract in Federal
ownership.’’
The Airport Sponsor, through the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT),
and the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), has requested
conveyance of the parcels in connection
with the Airport Runway Improvement
Project. The FAA determined that the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
00:00 Dec 21, 2018
Jkt 247001
public lands are necessary for the
runway improvement project. The
project involves correcting several nonstandard airfield components to meet
FAA design standards and enhance
public safety, which includes replacing
and relocating the primary commercial
service runway, to meet FAA design
standards and enhance public safety.
The existing runway will remain in use
until the new runway is constructed.
The FAA has determined that the
identified public lands are necessary for
airport purposes.
The BLM proposes to convey title to
the Airport Sponsor under Sec. 516 of
the Airport and Airway Improvement
Act of 1982 (49 U.S.C. 47125), and
processed in accordance with
regulations at 43 CFR part 2640. In
accordance with the DOT Act Sec. 4(f)
(49 U.S.C. 303), the Airport Sponsor
will provide up to $250,000 to construct
a parking/staging area on public land for
recreation users visiting the Grand
Valley Off-Highway Vehicle Open Area.
The Grand Valley Open Area is adjacent
to the airport and the parking/staging
will mitigate removing the proposed
conveyance lands from public
recreational use. In conformance with
the National Environmental Policy Act,
the BLM prepared a site-specific
Environmental Assessment (EA)
document (DOI–BLM–CO–130–2013–
0020–EA) for this Notice of Realty
Action. A copy of the EA is available
online at https://go.usa.gov/xPrMW.
Based on the EA, the BLM approved a
Finding of No Significant Impact and a
Decision Record on March 15, 2018, to
implement the conveyance of the lands.
By publishing this notice in the
Federal Register, the above-described
lands will segregate from all forms of
appropriation under the public land
laws, including the mining laws, except
for conveyance under the Airport and
Airway Improvement Act of 1982. The
segregation will terminate automatically
upon issuance of a patent or on
December 21, 2019, whichever occurs
first.
The patent, if issued, will contain the
following reservations to the United
States:
1. A right-of-way for ditches or canals
constructed under the authority of the
United States, pursuant to the Act of
August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945); and
2. All minerals in the lands, together
with the right to access, mine and
remove the same under applicable laws
and regulations. The Secretary of the
Interior reserves the right to determine
whether such mining and removal of
minerals will interfere with the
development, operation and
maintenance of the airport.

Conveyance of the lands will be
subject to valid existing rights of record,
including those rights for power
transmission line purposes granted by
right-of-way No. COC–061164, pursuant
to the Act of February 15, 1901 (43
U.S.C. 959).
Conveyance of the public lands will
contain the following covenants:
1. The Airport Sponsor will use the
conveyed property for airport purposes
and will develop that property for
airport purposes within five years or as
set forth in the conveyance instrument,
deed or quitclaim instrument. Any
interim use will be subject to terms and
conditions as set by the FAA.
2. The Airport Sponsor will operate
the Airport, together with its
appurtenant areas, buildings, and
facilities, regardless of whether they are
on the land being conveyed, as a public
use airport on fair and reasonable terms
and without unjust discrimination.
3. The Airport Sponsor will not grant
or permit any exclusive right in the
operation and use of the Airport,
together with its appurtenant areas,
buildings, and facilities, regardless of
whether they are on the land being
conveyed, as required by Sec. 303 of the
Federal Aviation Act of 1938, as
amended, and Sec. 308(a) of the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958, as amended.
4. Any subsequent transfer of the
conveyed property interest to another
non-federal public entity will be subject
to the terms, conditions and covenants
set forth in the original instrument of
conveyance. If the land conveyed is no
longer needed for airport purposes, the
land may revert to the U.S. Government.
5. In the event of a breach of any term,
condition or covenant contained in the
conveyance instrument, the Airport
Sponsor will, on demand, take such
action as required to transfer ownership
of the conveyed premises to the U.S.
Government.
6. The terms, conditions, covenants
and other federally obligating provisions
in conveyance instruments remain in
force and effect as long as the land is
held by the Airport Sponsor, its
successors or assignees.
The EA, maps, terms and conditions,
and Environmental Site Assessment are

may submit, in writing, any comments
concerning the conveyance, including
notifications of any encumbrances or

A detailed assessment of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
was made by TVA professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Absentee-Shawnee Tribe of Indians of
Oklahoma; Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of
Texas (previously listed as the AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas); Cherokee
Nation; Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana;
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians;
Poarch Band of Creeks (previously listed
as the Poarch Band of Creek Indians of
Alabama); The Chickasaw Nation; The
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma; The
Muscogee (Creek) Nation; The Seminole
Nation of Oklahoma; and the United
Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in
Oklahoma (hereafter referred to as ‘‘The

History and Description of the Remains
From June–August, 1976, human
remains representing, at minimum, 122
individuals were removed from the
Hester site, 1FR311, in Franklin County,
AL. This site was excavated as part of
TVA’s Cedar Creek Reservoir project by
the Alabama Museum of Natural History
(AMNH) at the University of Alabama.
Excavation commenced after TVA
acquired the land encompassing 1FR311
on May 5, 1976, for the Cedar Creek
project. Material culture recovered from
this site indicates it was primarily
PO 00000
Frm 00100
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

occupied during the Middle Woodland
Copena phase (AD 100—500). The
human remains are of children,
juveniles and adults. Most of the human
remains were too fragmentary to
determine sex. The 105 associated
funerary objects are 59 copper beads, 17
pieces of galena, 23 conch shell vessel
fragments, three greenstone celts/
spades, and three Hillabee schist
spades.
From July–August, 1973, human
remains representing, at minimum, 81
individuals were removed from the
Massey Mound, 1FR520, in Franklin
County, AL. This site was excavated as
part of TVA’s Little Bear Creek reservoir
project by the AMNH at the University
of Alabama. TVA purchased the land
encompassing this site on October 28,
1968.
Site 1FR520 is a mortuary stone
mound approximately 30 feet in
diameter and two to three feet high
situated on a ridge overlooking the
confluence of Little Bear Creek and
Trace Branch. It was used primarily
during the Middle Woodland Lick Creek
phase (AD 1—300). The human remains
represent infants, juveniles and adults.
Most of the human remains were too
fragmentary to determine sex. The 26
associated funerary objects are one chert
biface, 24 fragments of turtle shell, and
one bag of mussel shell fragments.
From August–September, 1977,
human remains representing, at
minimum, 26 individuals were
excavated from the Hendrix site,
1FR562, in Franklin County, AL. This
site was excavated as part of TVA’s
Cedar Creek reservoir project by the
AMNH at the University of Alabama.
TVA purchased the land encompassing
this site on July 28, 1976.
Site 1FR562 is a village site that was
occupied primarily during the Late
Archaic (4000–1000 B.C.) and Middle
Woodland Lost Creek phase (A.D. 500–
700). The human remains represent
adults, juveniles, children and infants.
Most of the human remains were too
fragmentary to determine sex. The 45
associated funerary objects are two chert
cores, one soil sample, 20 red ochre
fragments, 10 bone fragments, two bone
billets, four antler tine tools, one bone
fid, one bone awl, one piece of ground
sandstone, two sandstone bowls and
one turtle shell fragment.
From November–December, 1972,
human remains representing, at
minimum, 178 individuals were
removed from the Carpenter Mound,
1FR594, in Franklin County, AL. This
site was excavated as part of TVA’s
Little Bear Creek reservoir project by the
AMNH at the University of Alabama.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Airport Sponsor has requested the
conveyance for a runway improvement project at the Grand Junction
Regional Airport (Airport). The subject lands are adjacent to the
northern boundary of the Airport. The proposal aligns with the
Administration's priority to restore trust and be a good neighbor by
engaging with the Airport Sponsor to provide ongoing, safe operations
at the Airport that helps to modernize America's infrastructure. The
proposal also aligns with the Administration's priority to increase
revenues to support the Department and national interests through
creating over 1,700 jobs for the local community over seven to ten
years.
The BLM proposes to convey the following described lands:
Parcel A
Ute Principal Meridian
T. 1 N, R. 1 W,
Sec. 23, S\1/2\NE\1/4\.
Parcel B
Ute Principal Meridian
T. 1 N, R. 1 E,
Sec. 19, lot 6;
Sec. 30, lots 6, 8, 9, and 11.
T. 1 N, R. 1 W,
Sec. 24, lots 2 and 3.
The area aggregates 188.04 acres.
The proposed conveyance conforms to the BLM Grand Junction Resource
Management Plan (RMP), approved August 2015. The parcels are identified
as appropriate for land tenure for airport purposes in the RMP Record
of Decision (L&R-AU-07). The BLM used the land tenure criteria found in
Sec. 203(a)(3) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA),
which states ``disposal of such tract will serve important public
objectives, including but not limited to, expansion of communities and
economic development, which cannot be achieved prudently or feasibly on
land other than public land and which outweigh other public objectives
and values, including, but not limited to, recreation and scenic
values, which would be served by maintaining such tract in Federal
ownership.''
The Airport Sponsor, through the U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has requested
conveyance of the parcels in connection with the Airport Runway
Improvement Project. The FAA determined that the public lands are
necessary for the runway improvement project. The project involves
correcting several non-standard airfield components to meet FAA design
standards and enhance public safety, which includes replacing and
relocating the primary commercial service runway, to meet FAA design
standards and enhance public safety. The existing runway will remain in
use until the new runway is constructed. The FAA has determined that
the identified public lands are necessary for airport purposes.
The BLM proposes to convey title to the Airport Sponsor under Sec.
516 of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 (49 U.S.C.
47125), and processed in accordance with regulations at 43 CFR part
2640. In accordance with the DOT Act Sec. 4(f) (49 U.S.C. 303), the
Airport Sponsor will provide up to $250,000 to construct a parking/
staging area on public land for recreation users visiting the Grand
Valley Off-Highway Vehicle Open Area. The Grand Valley Open Area is
adjacent to the airport and the parking/staging will mitigate removing
the proposed conveyance lands from public recreational use. In
conformance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the BLM
prepared a site-specific Environmental Assessment (EA) document (DOI-
BLM-CO-130-2013-0020-EA) for this Notice of Realty Action. A copy of
the EA is available online at https://go.usa.gov/xPrMW. Based on the
EA, the BLM approved a Finding of No Significant Impact and a Decision
Record on March 15, 2018, to implement the conveyance of the lands.
By publishing this notice in the Federal Register, the above-
described lands will segregate from all forms of appropriation under
the public land laws, including the mining laws, except for conveyance
under the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982. The segregation
will terminate automatically upon issuance of a patent or on December
21, 2019, whichever occurs first.
The patent, if issued, will contain the following reservations to
the United States:
1. A right-of-way for ditches or canals constructed under the
authority of the United States, pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890
(43 U.S.C. 945); and
2. All minerals in the lands, together with the right to access,
mine and remove the same under applicable laws and regulations. The
Secretary of the Interior reserves the right to determine whether such
mining and removal of minerals will interfere with the development,
operation and maintenance of the airport.
Conveyance of the lands will be subject to valid existing rights of
record, including those rights for power transmission line purposes
granted by right-of-way No. COC-061164, pursuant to the Act of February
15, 1901 (43 U.S.C. 959).
Conveyance of the public lands will contain the following
covenants:
1. The Airport Sponsor will use the conveyed property for airport
purposes and will develop that property for airport purposes within
five years or as set forth in the conveyance instrument, deed or
quitclaim instrument. Any interim use will be subject to terms and
conditions as set by the FAA.
2. The Airport Sponsor will operate the Airport, together with its
appurtenant areas, buildings, and facilities, regardless of whether
they are on the land being conveyed, as a public use airport on fair
and reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination.
3. The Airport Sponsor will not grant or permit any exclusive right
in the operation and use of the Airport, together with its appurtenant
areas, buildings, and facilities, regardless of whether they are on the

1958, as amended.
4. Any subsequent transfer of the conveyed property interest to

contained in the conveyance instrument, the Airport Sponsor will, on
demand, take such action as required to transfer ownership of the

provisions in conveyance instruments remain in force and effect as long
as the land is held by the Airport Sponsor, its successors or
assignees.
